Topic: Economic Policy
They Will Try and Distract You

You know, I fell for it. I focused on distraction of party politics during an interview and do indeed look like a fool. I was recently interviewed by an Obama supporter during a recent Tea Party Protest. I was seen screaming, "Who wants to print some money?!?!" and video is out there to prove it. Later on in the video I answered a question about Obama's eligibility and ramble away I did. I was lead away from the entire purpose of the Tea Party and I commend the reporter on his smoke and mirrors tactics. Kudos to him and his accomplishment.

A lot of this specific tactic was seen in media coverage of the Greece riots where a protestor was shot and killed by police. The remainder of the reporting focused on the element of retaliation for a protestor's death, therefore the true revolt against central economic planning was masked.

They say a smart man learns from his own mistakes, while a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others. I would like to bring to everyone's attention my mistake so that you can be wiser for it.

The real issue we are fighting and the answer I should have given in response to the question, "Do you think Obama is a natural-born citizen?" is "That is not why I am hear today."

Obama is doing exactly what the Bush Administration did. I admit I made the mistake of voting for Bush and the Republicans blew it. Bush, as you may remember, ran as a peace candidate and was going to be fiscally responsible. That was the same platform and force behind propelling Obama to the POTUS.

When Bush pushed TARP on us through the Democrat-controlled Congress, I spoke out against this Constitutional usurpation. In fact, I helped to organize an effort to ensure our voice be heard against this deficit spending through the private Federal Reserve Bank.

One of the targets of our campaign was Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) who said he received roughly 2,000 letters, emails or phone calls per day pertaining to the bailout, 95 percent of which were negative and against the bailout bill. He didn't listen to the People. The bailout passed. Nationalization continues on its path.

Both McCain and Obama voted yes to the TARP. Both have voted historically for more war. People that listened to their party only didn't bother to check out their respective candidate's record on wars and welfare. If that voter did investigate and still voted for their party candidate, then they were duped just like we conservatives were with Bush. Obama and McCain were one in the same. More often than not Obama voted for war with McCain. McCain voted more often than not with Obama on welfare programs. Oddly enough many of these welfare and warfare programs came with the efforts of Bush. Check it out for yourself. It was predicted by a special someone we all know that nothing would change between the Bush Administration and Obama Administration. The only change we see thusfar is in the overall increase in governmental scope.

Bush voted for welfare programs and warfare programs both supported through money creation and expansion by the private Federal Reserve Bank. OBAMA IS DOING THE SAME THING!!!! Do not let anyone drive you off this path of truth.

So here I stand today and spoke a bit of truth about military personnel filing legal action against this administration. They are filing legal action regarding Obama's eligibility for POTUS through the Constitution. If you don't believe me, perhaps some words by Alan Keyes might give you some insight here as to what I was talking about in my brutal interview - Words from ALan Keyes

I may not be an eloquent speaker or a writer, but I do understand the core of our problems. I admitted I made a mistake on who I voted for in the past and then someone turned me to the Constitution to see what the rules really were. I spoke my voice then against further Constitutional usurpations by the Bush Presidency and Democratic House/Senate and now I will speak out against the Obama Presidency and Democratic House/Senate.

We have not had a free market and our problems cannot be blamed on that. We have a central bank that can control the amount of money and credit in circulation along with the purchasing power of money through distortions of interest rates. That is to be considered CENTRAL ECONOMIC PLANNING. This is by no means a free market in the slightest. Our generation and our parent's generation have not seen much of a true free market in their lifetimes.

Obama, McCain, and Bush ALL focused on the wonderful tactic this interviewer so eloquently exhibited through his video. It is a focus on the crazy fringe issues, while never bringing up the true culprit of our nation's destruction. President Paul (he is my President at least) has been given these same diversion tactics in interview after interview. Somehow he is able to direct the answer back to our destruction coming from our monetary policy and our central economic planning.

Both Democrats and Republicans LOVE to inflate the money supply to give EVERYONE whatever the hell they want. It does not work.

How about giving sound money a try?

Why not give freedom a try?

Both Administrations and Parties (except for a small minority of Congressman like President Ron Paul) have been for warfare and welfare. A compromise in Washington is giving both sides more than they want, so they turn to the Federal Reserve in order to fund the compromise. The Federal Reserve creates the money, loans it to the Governments, and then the Government divvies it out to whatever special interest group they like the most according to who is in office. The Federal Reserve then collects every penny of federal income taxes to pay for the interest on the money the Federal Reserve just got done creating out of nothing.

If you or your group is not one of the politically connected you are in for a rude awakening. By the time the money does get to you or your group prices have adjusted upward since a larger supply of money is chasing after the same amount of goods or less goods in economic times like today. The everyday American gets to pay for all of the deficits through taxes and higher consumer good prices. We are all being robbed while we chase the smoke and mirrors of ancillary arguments. Stay on focus is what I have learned.

If the people were truly taxed for all of the welfare and warfare of this country it would all end in weeks because we do not have the money. When you have a central bank that can create the money the tax payment can be delayed. The tax payment is being called to us right now and you will see price inflation like you have never seen before as our foreign investors wise up. This inflation of consumer good prices (energy and food) will be a direct result of the increase in the money supply by Bush and Obama and the Federal Reserve Bank.

These two administrations should be criminally charged in treason against the Constitution.

It matters not who is in office, what matters is the rule of law. Just because 32% of the registered voters in America voted for Obama, does not mean the Constitution can be ignored.

Hi R3volt,

  Nice going.  I wish more people would begin to realize how eager the enemies of liberty are to prey on those who are most publically passionate about how they defend it. It is common knowledge amongst the enemies of liberty that they can ask just a few hot button questions and those prone to self-marginalization will take the bait every single time.  It is all part of the game to discredit the messenger so the message doesn't have to be considered.  That, in turn, reflects negatively on the organizations these people represent, undermines the stated goal of the group and of the individual and worst of all, gives the enemies of liberty ample ammunition to link "crazy" with "Ron Paul" "Restore the Republic" "Campaign for Liberty" etc.

I've been writing for almost two years about how I dissociated my self from the Ron Paulers because of their complete lack of disgression, strategy or focus.  All they wanted to do was preach to the choir.  On the other hand, my wife and I are 100% intolerant of such behavior due to the damage we believe it does to our goals.  Being a hard-ass about destructive behavior doesn't win us any friends in libertarian or Ron Paul circles.  Yet, I have seen a lot of people make the same realization you just wrote about.  Suddenly they begin focusing their passion and energy on constructive activities rather than self-marginalizing activities.  Next thing we know, they are sitting beside us in public meetings and promoting their values in our community.  One by one we're becoming a presence in the GOP.

Even more importantly, we are becoming a presence in our local communities.  All defense of liberty must start at home in our public agencies, fire departments, school boards, county commissioners, mayors, city councils, etc.  Any plan that doesn't involve participation in some or all of these local government agencies is more of a hobby than activism.  Nothing lasting will come of it but one can waste a lifetime at it.

It does my heart good to see you encourage others to begin practicing disgression instead of the mindless,  pointless ranting that usually suffices for political activism among those who thrive on spectacle. Kudos to you.

I now understand why criticism was levied against me for some of my past writings.  Unfortunately the awakening process can be a confusing one and energy is expended in areas of fruitless pursuit.  The constant attack with this, that, and the other is something that takes us off of our true focus of the paper money system as a whole.

In fact, you criticized me a while back and I thought to myself, “Why is Jahfre doing telling me my efforts are worthless?”  I now understand as true focus on the core issue is where we will make our worth.

At the end of the day the paper money system is done.  We see it collapsing before our eyes and something else will HAVE to take its place. We will face yet another monstrosity of political and economical enslavement if WE allow our “great leaders” to institute another paper money system or its derivates.  The People need to realize that sound money is true liberty and those who know the truth are now called to spread that message to the one’s that we love. 

Once the truth is realized it cannot be forgotten.  One who comes to grip with reality will each go through their process of horror, depression, fear, courage, and then focus.  I am not yet at the point of true focus on the message of truth, but it is being refined daily and will be realized so it can be spread. 

Love WILL win out over fear.  Truth will expose ALL lies.  Freedom and abundance is before us and for all to share, but that has to start with sound money in a truly free society.  We will all get there if we continue to spread the message of the truth to the souls that we love.  They will spread the message in turn.  The truth sets us all free.

Abundance and love can be realized by all and our time has come.
